People who are injured through no fault of their own should be compensated by the responsible party. Before recovering damages, however, an injured person must prove that the other party actually caused the injury.

A jury has been deliberating a proper settlement, but they haven’t reached an agreement yet. In addition to the disagreement, protestors from Citizens for a Better Arizona have disrupted the settlement according to a jury supervisor. The family has spent $2 million on the trial already, but the trial will resume shortly. There’s no telling what the jury will award the family for Deborah Braillard’s death.

The fact that a person is in jail, doesn’t mean they lose their rights to proper medical attention. If the staff at Maricopa County Jail had given Braillard her insulin upon request, she would still be alive today. There is no doubt that the Maricopa County Jail staff acted negligently and caused the death of 46-year-old diabetic Deborah Braillard.
